Leather (A Grease! Mcpriceley fanfiction)

Chapter 1 - Him

December 20th, 1953. Conner Mckinley stood in front of Salt Lake High, taking a deep breath. He was about 5"6, with parted ginger blonde hair, and crystal blue eyes. He wore a white blouse, salmon pants, and perfectly shined dress shoes. This was his first day in public school. He was homeschooled throughout his entire life, and to be honest, he was terrified. His mom always told him of the horrors of public high school. The drama, the romance, the sin. But he's seen enough movies to see how wonderful it could be.

He stood there, imagining what characters would be inside. Maybe a kind friend, a cool "king of the school", jocks, nerds. Yeah, there were stereotypes. And Conner imagined all of them waiting inside for him. He smiled and sighed, closing his eyes. "This is it." He sang to himself, smirking.

Suddenly, he was shoved from behind by a tall boy in a leather jacket. He had dirty blonde, greased up hair, and chocolate brown eyes. Conner stepped back in disgust. "Excuse you!" He exclaimed. The boy turned around with a confident smirk on his face. "Excuse me?!" He answered, running his fingers through his hair.

Something instantly hit Conner, and he blushed bright pink. He didn't know what it was, but he was blown away by something. It felt wrong, but right. That wasn't the problem now, though. He had bigger things to worry about.

"Uh... I said... It would be polite if you-"
"Polite? Hah. That's funny." The mysterious kid joked.
Conner looked at the ground. "Well, my mom always told me-"
"Mom? Hahah! We gotta Momma's boy over here! Look, kid. Are you new?! Do you know who I am?"
"Well, uh, yes, but no... Sorry..."
"I'm Kevin Price! King of the Sewer Rats and this whole school. And i'll let you go this one time..." Kevin trailed off. "Because... You're new. But mess with me again and you're dead meat!" He continued.

Deep down, it really wasn't because Conner was new, or small, or kinda dorky. It was because Kevin knew there was something special about him. He couldn't really put his finger on it, but he felt like Conner would be a person he'd want a good reputation with. Kevin flashed a tough smirk and ran off to his friends. Conner sighed. "Off to a great start." He sarcastically muttered to himself, continuing into the school building.
